This weekend, beginning August 22, L.A. Theatre Works will air its production of Dinah Was by Oliver Goldstick, starring Yvette Freeman, Adriane Lenox, Bud Leslie, and Darryl Alan Reed. The broadcast can be heard locally in Southern California on Saturday from 10pm to midnight on KPCC 89.3 FM, and can also be streamed on demand at http://www.latw.org/.

Yvette Freeman, joined by members of the original Off-Broadway cast, reprises her Obie Award-winning role as Dinah Washington in a musical biography of the self-described Queen of the Blues. Dinah Was explodes with the rhythms, tough breaks, and tender notes that fired the life and music of this passionate performer. The broadcast includes an interview with Oliver Goldstick.

L.A. Theatre Works' radio theater series can also be heard on the following stations (check local listings for broadcast times): 89.7 WGBH, Boston, MA; 91.5 FM WBEZ, Chicago, IL; 94.9 KUOW, Seattle, WA; KPFA 94.1 FM, Berkeley, CA; KRCB 91.1 FM, North Bay (San Francisco, CA); KVPR 89.1 FM, Fresno, CA; KPRX 89.3 FM, Bakersfield, CA; and many other stations nationwide.

Major funding for L.A. Theatre Works' broadcast series is provided by the S. Mark Taper Foundation. Founded in 1989, the S. Mark Taper Foundation is a private family foundation dedicated to enhancing the quality of people's lives by supporting non-profit organizations and their work in the community.
